Piper Camshaft Lube
Product Information
Helps prevent premature cam and tappet failure
Recomended when installing camshafts
Pipercams "cam lube" has been developed to help prevent premature cam and tappet failure, by coating the cams and followers generously with the lube when installing camshafts.
The cause of premature cam and tappet failure is metal to metal contact between the tappet and cam lobe. Should this contact occur due to lack of proper lubrication or excessively high pressure due to valve train interference shearing the oil film, then ‘galling’ will take place.
When this happens, metal is transferred from the tappet to the cam or vice versa in a process comparable to welding. Microscopic high spots, which are present on all machined parts, become overheated due to friction and pressure and bond together, tearing sections loose from the tappet or lobe. These pieces of metal remain attached and create further local overheating during the following revolutions of the camshaft and lead to ultimate failure of the affected components.
